Easy way for Professional (Confirmed)

[The Lovat Scout]

In divinecc's post here:

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...d.php?t=157005

It claims you can get the achievement "Are you a God" (100G) by "After you beat the game, all you have to do is go back and beat the first and last chapters of each mission on pro to get the professional achievement. You might not even have to do the first checkpoint but I did just to be safe, and most first checkpoints are super short anyway" - divinecc

Throughout the thread there are various players claiming it does work and does not work. I have just gotten the achievement and here is how to do it.

1. Beat the game on Casual or Intermediate.
2. Now go to Career>Replay Mission>Hotel Sedgewick>You're Hired>Professional.
3. Play through the level until you get into Ecto (the car) and are inside the Hotel.
4. Press Start>Options>Quit to Main Menu>Yes
5. Now repeat Step 2, but instead of selecting "You're Hired", select the last checkpoint in the chapter (End-Chapter Boss) (Make sure to select Professional).
6. Defeat each End-Chapter Boss on each Chapter. When you have defeated a boss, WAIT until the next Chapter starts. (*You may skip Cutscenes, I did and it worked*) As soon as the next chapter starts and you receive an objective, you may Quit to Main Menu.
7. Continue defeating all bosses until the last one. The achievement will pop up as SOON as you defeat the last one. No worry about watching all the credits.

For some reason people are having trouble with the Public Library Boss. iamreverend84 has a thread (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...d.php?t=154435) that shows you how to easily defeat him. I used his strategy and I finished it in one go.

Notes: All I was in this was a tester. I did not discover any of these methods whatsoever. I only made this thread because divinecc's thread was over 3 pages and information was scattered throughout the thread. This is just to sum everything up.

[bouncingtigger]

when you say in the hotel do you mean out of the elevator or as soon as you walk in?

[ASH4L]

I did mine as soon as the ghostbusters got through talking to the manager.

[bouncingtigger]

i just went to the elevator to be safe and I got it

[littlejay]

ive got 2 friends that played the last checkpoint on each chapter on pro and got the achievement.

you could just say that instead of the detailed steps but w/e

[thepaxman]

Am trying this now (again). I think, before, I deafeated all the bosses but may not have waited long enough. And I didn't do it in order either, hmm.

But that isn't the same techinque is it?

[thepaxman]

Just done it, this works perfectly cheers

[Dannyb0yUK]

Haha, what a beauty! I'm so glad I didn't try to take this on a few weeks back as I think I probably would have got frustrated at some point and given up. The only advice I can offer additional to the actual method is to use your PKE meter and ascertain what each of the bosses weakness is. That will probably make your life a little easier! The underground boss (the one with the four pink slime vats around the corners) and the final boss are both more susceptible to the Meson Collider

i just did all this and no achieve-
i loaded you're hired, and waited till in basement, then did every boss battle.... what did i do wrong>?

**and yes, I did wait till next mission started.. and saw an update on what to do.. and then quit to main menu.

It doesn't say to wait until you're in the basement... It says to wait until you are in the hotel, which comes after the basement section. Me personally, just to be on the safe side? I decided to wait until the first section of each level after the Ghostbusters HQ had loaded and the objective had come up and disappeared at the top of the screen.

2nd level- quit when escorting Ecto 1 walking towards Marshmallow Man.
3rd level- quit after looking at lion statue outside the museum.
4th level- quit after flicking the switch in the basement.
5th level- until the first objective had disappeared from the top of the screen upon entering the hotel lobby.
6th level- quit after the objective had disappeared at the top of the screen at very start of level.
7th level- quit after entering the cemetery and going up the path and through the gap in the wall.

I got the achievement by doing each of these followed by loading up the level's boss fights. Also ghost slayer, did you do them all in order?

[Levex817]

I love this tip, so quicker then playing the game twice, thnx a lot!

[vegetable lasagna]

i hate that second boss though...your AI partners are worthless guys.

Word, this is exactly what I did.

[Marvolo]

Did exactly what the lovat scout say... works great, thx for this.

[bradws82]

Working, 100 just popped as I finished the last boss.

[DarthMalice777]

Great tip, thx so much for saving having to play through a second time right away. Follow these instructions, works like a charm.

[asdf123]

Meson Collider. Use only the right trigger and vent often. You should be able to finish him before the stone dragons show up and take you out.

Can I use this method for the $100,000 and 3MIL achievements?

[Sidburn19]

I have tried this method but got no achievement, I was wondering it had something to do with the updated I got when I first started the game?

I just got this one, with the latest update (got the game yesterday). Make sure you don't quit too soon.

[xCKxKORNFLAKES]

thanks for the info imma have to try that out.

[Sidburn19]

I must have done it wrong the first time, because I got it on my second try. Thanks for the info

[COBRAtheENEMY]

I did the training etc on the 1st level

Then I accidentally did a checkpoint in the middle of the first level thinking it was the last checkpoint.

Then I quit out and did the final checkpoint and went on until the beginning of the next level.

Anyone have any idea if it will f*ck it up that I did a checkpoint in the middle?

I assume it is just necessary to complete the 1st and last checkpoints of each level, what you do in the middle doesnt matter?

Thanks

Thanks for this, Works like a charm... For the last boss use the Meson Collider as an early poster said and you'll finish him off... Just remember the RB is your friend.

[Bkoz]

It's a lot more fun to beat it legit =\ but yeah, I probably would have done this if I knew before I beat the game lol. This game is probably the easiest game I've ever played on the hardest difficulty.

[TIH LC50]

quick question;

As i am following this method can load other sub chapters of the levels and get my 3mil destruction and Drinking Game achievements? (and yes i will be sure to do everything on Pro and not on an easier mode)

When i did the Nice Shootin Tex save glitch i didnt get the Drinking Game and was hoping to get it this go through without having to play the whole game over again. Thanks for any help!
